Updated to the latest version after the notification window of a new release. Thanks guys - it updated without hassles and is working well. However, I had a couple of glitches earlier which I'll bring to your attention - the first with the malicious website being disabled all by itself after an update, but this was resolved by manually updating the database version. I noticed all the posts on the forum about this - thanks for the extra prompt fix!

I'm not sure if it is related to the bad update, but my scheduled scan failed. The bad update came through at 5.15pm (NZT) and my scheduled scan was set for 5.30pm. The manual update I did at 5.40pm re-enabled the malicious website scanning, but it did not stop the scanning progress bar on the Dashboard from showing the scan was working and "initialising", even though the scan had stopped itself and was reported to have failed. I tried a few things, and in the end this I solved the problem by manually starting a threat scan, which completed fine (though took twice as long as usual to do so?), and now the Dashboard now looks as it should.

I will see what happens with my scheduled threat scan tomorrow. If works as it should then I guess I can assume the earlier failed scan and stuck scanning progress bar on the Dashboard was down to the bad update that came through just prior to it. I'll create a topic in the appropriate forum if it fails again.

Yes, if you're installation is still not working properly after the update you did then you might need to do a clean removal and reinstall (will need to reschedule items) but that should fix any of those issues as well. Sometimes older files fail to update and the clean removal ensures they do and you get all new files.

Hi... been having the same problems as the others but as instructed I downloaded/reinstalled and it seems to be working fine now. Is the reported problem due to the latest version of the software or was it an update issue?

Glad this bomb happened late at night and most users never noticed.I do appreciate the fast fix.It might be a good idea to have a stable safety version to fall back to without a lot of rigmarole. Even browsers have previous versions available for fall-back, if the newest version has some quirks, that users find unacceptable. Quite possible that is already available, just not explained how to do it safely without wiping out old downloads and licenses.

Have tried to update but unable to access update server. Fix now not working. Realtime protection is off and scheduled scan failed.

That is a different issue, unrelated to the problems others have reported. We cannot provide support here in this NEWS thread (for example, we cannot upload attachments).

Appears to possibly be a bad update at MajorGeeks. It is under their Oct 13, 2013 updates. It says it is version 2.0.3.1025 Final. However there are a few things with it that have made me suspicious about its validity

1. The file size is different than the one that downloads from here.

2. It has the word "MajorGeeks" in the installer file name. I had never seen a downloaded installer file from MajorGeeks with their name in the instller file.
